Why is there such a big difference between falcons L / 100 Kms. Some say 10L and some say15L. Both are 6 cylinder. Just seems such a big difference.

Are you Talking about their official figures, or own experience. Newer = economical

What model and how hard is it driven. My wife drives a 2010 XR6 and it regularly returns 8.- 0 8.5 litres per 100km with a mixture of open road and city driving. I would find it hard to use as much as 15 litres /100 km. Its only doing about 1650 rpm at 100 km with the 6 speed box and I know she is not the slowest driver by any means

I was just looking at the Fuel Economy info that is on most listings. My mate gets 8-10L in his 2003 Falcon. I was thinking of buying a LPG Falcon as I do 100Km per day just going to work

I would say its a typo. A 2004 (or BA 6 cyl) combined fuel as around 11.5L/100kms, a 2008 (BF) 10.2L/100kms or 2008 (FG) 10.1L/100kms

An LPG car always uses more fuel than it's petrol equivalent. But LPG costs a fraction of petrol so ends up being much much cheaper to run. I would say that an LPG Falcon would use 15L/100kms on dedicated LPG

BF Turbo sitting on 10.7L/100km for the last 14 months
Average -54KM, had 8.3L/100km from Tauranga to Napier
You should get a bit more from the FG

I get 8/10 l out of my 2005xr6. And that's a mixture or town and country. I only do about 60/70km per week.
